Building OpenJFX requires that you have the binary porition of OpenJFX. As of JDK7, JavaFX is co-bundled with Java so you will need the version of Java that matches the mercurial repositories you cloned. The rest of this document assumes that you are developing against JavaFX 8 (co-bundled with JDK8) and uses paths and naming accordingly.

Working with OpenJFX and JavaFX

• JDK1.8 Snapshot release
• Ant 1.8.2
• Mercurial 1.8.2
• Cygwin (for Linux commands on Windows)

On Ubuntu Linux (tested on 12.04), the following command can be used to satisfy the prerequisites for this build:

sudo apt-get install mercurial ant libgtk2.0-dev libxtst-dev

You will need to ensure that the command path is set up correctly. The java and javac commands should come from the JDK8 bundle by preference (current build minimum is JDK7). On some Linux systems, OpenJDK6 may be the system default. Use the '-version' switch to check each of java, javac and ant to verify the versions in your path, for example
